Summary
This study tested whether varenicline tartrate, a drug typically used to help people quit smoking, can reduce frequent extra heartbeats (PVCs) in 116 adults who have had a heart attack. Participants received either the drug or a placebo for 6 weeks, while continuing standard heart medications. The main goal was to see if the drug lowered the number of extra beats per day. This is a phase 2 trial, meaning it looks at early effectiveness and safety, not a cure.
